You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your
computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also
prevent you from completing this procedure.
The MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. Therefore,
you must install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver and the printer
driver.
The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection
details refer to the Setup/Reference Guide.
If you are running Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, you may need to follow

2. Double-click Services.
3. Double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
4. From the Startup type menu, select Automatic.
